Abstract

Urban energy systems for building are undergoing an accelerated transition to achieve the goals of sustainability, security, and resilience. The main drivers for such transition are the emergence of renewable-energy-source solutions, energy-efficient buildings, digitalization, automation, smart mobility, carbon emission reduction, and increased social awareness. However, the climate change, pandemic crisis, and socioeconomic uncertainties aggravate the challenges of transition. Flexibility, resilience, and optimization are three aspects that can facilitate the envision of next-generation urban energy systems, towards sustainability, and prosperity. Such transition of urban energy systems could be a solution to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter introduces the background, aim, objectives, motivation, and structure for the whole book. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.
